Questions and Answers from pre-bid conference on 5/9/18

• Once you choose your bid range, can you bid on higher projects?

o Yes, you will be offered the opportunity, but there is no “penalty” for not bidding.

• Do we sent in 2 task orders & design build in 1 package?

o There are six documents to submit, preferably as individual attachments, but so long as they are easy to identify and separate that will be sufficient.

o 1) The overall technical proposal o 2-4) The technical proposals for the two seed task orders and the sample design-build o 5-6) The price proposals for the two seed task orders

• Is there a page limit except what you said on the design build?

o No, there is not a defined page limit for the technical proposals.

• There was a question about the number of pages in the solicitation and a possible discrepancy on the page numbering noted on the SF 1442.

o So long as the required information is provided there will not be any attention given to the page number(s) noted on the form. (however, there is no known issue w/ page numbering)

• On the bonding issue, do you allow a bond writer as the Corps of Engineer?

o That would be acceptable so long as it meets the requirements of FAR Part 28.102. The

SBA can provide additional assistance.

• Will we know when an amendment is made other than through FBO?

o No, FBO will be the exclusive source for any and all amendments.

Road 43 Site Visit Questions and Answers

MP 3.292

1) What will we do if we encounter rock before we reach the design elevations?

If bedrock is encountered before reaching the design elevations, contact the COR. The CO may approve a modification adjusting the depth of the slab and/or footers.

2) Can the fish passage slots (detail C on sheet C-504) be constructed in a “wedge” shape?

Yes, if the contractor prefers to construct the slots in a wedge shape, they shall be 3.5” on top, no less than 3” on the bottom, and 3.5” deep.

3) What kind of erosion control is required?

The contractor is responsible for submitting an erosion control plan prior to construction. At a minimum, this plan should include placing straw waddles, silt fence, or wheat straw bales just beyond the construction limits on the downhill side of any excavation. In addition, the contractor will be expected to take any necessary precautions to prevent “muddying” the creek.

4) Will a bypass be required?

It is expected that the contractor maintain traffic flow and minimize road closures through the duration of the contract.

MP 6.157

1) Where is the borrow source?

For purposes of preparing your bid, assume you will have to haul in all borrow from off-site.

Questions received by phone

1) Will the concrete for the slab need to be tested?

Yes. Concrete testing (slump, air, and cylinder tests) will be required as part of the contractor’s quality control.
